Unable to connect to database due to driver - database

Question

I'm trying to connect to a database using Groovy and can't.
The same error pops up even though i've tried a few things.
The error is "No such property: driver for class".
I known the connection works as i have tried it on the DBeaver app without issues.
The code is as follows:
package com.database
//import java.sql.DriverManager
import java.sql.ResultSet
import com.google.api.client.util.Data
import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword
//import com.mysql.jdbc.Connection
//import com.mysql.jdbc.Statement
import groovy.sql.Sql
import java.sql.Driver
import groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader
import org.codehaus.groovy.tools.RootLoader
import java.sql.Connection
import java.sql.DriverManager
import java.sql.ResultSet
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData
import java.sql.SQLException
import java.sql.Statement
import groovy.sql.Sql
import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword
import groovy.sql.*
public class mySql {
#Keyword
def connectDB(String username, String environment, String url, String port, String dbname, String password){
//* Attempts:
//#GrabConfig(systemClassLoader=true)
//#Grab('mysql:mysql-connector-java:S5.1.27')
// Data Source = MyOracleDB;
//SERVER=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host)(PORT=port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MyOracleSID)));uid=username;pwd=password;
// Class.forName(driver);
// Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connect, username, password);
// Statement statement = con.createStatement();
String connect = username+"#//srv" +environment + url + ":" + port + "/" + dbname
if(connection != null && !connection.isClosed()){
connection.close()
}
def connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connect, username, password)
return connection
}
If anyone can help would apreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

It is much simpler than your code suggests. You can still build a string for the newInstance(). Not in a class for simplicity in my example.
import groovy.sql.Sql
def myDB = Sql.newInstance('jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.7:3306/employees', 'user1', 'pass1', 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver')
myDB.eachRow("select first_name, last_name from employees.employees;"){
println "${it.first_name} ${it.last_name}"
}
myDB.close()
